Emotional

It is hard to even explain how I'm feeling right now. I'm just plain tired...emotionally and physically. I'm sure the progesterone supps three times a day aren't helping. Eight straight months of fertility meds is getting to be too much. I'm scared of a negative result. Will I have the strength to move on to an even more aggressive treatment? I really feel ridiculous. I'm in my mid 20s and my daily life revolves around infertility treatments. How did we get to this place?

Courtney,

It is completely normal and ok to feel emotional. We all do at some point or another. Watching everyone get thier BFP's is exciting but scary at the same time because we start to feel alone...yours is on the way, I feel it! Keep that head up, you can do...but cry all you need to as well!!!

When is your beta Courtney? I'm sorry that you're feeling low and emotional. I'm hoping it's a good sign.

Good luck! I have my fingers crossed for you!

Hun I def know what you are feeling. Being at this so long you would think that I could get over the emotional side of it all but I just cant. It kills me to keep having another month down the toliet, another treatment that didnt work. All the poking, all the prodding, all the meds, shots, u/s, doc appts. For what? I got no reward at the end of any of it. I too keep thinking for what? Why do I do this. But then I have to snap back to reality and I tell myself Aubrey you know why you are doing this. You know that God can only let this hurt last for so long before he answers your prayers. You cant give up. No matter what it takes you keep at it because you know what the prize is in the end. Even though its taking a long time to get that prize we still know what it is, a baby. I read something on a sign and it said "you are only defeated if you give up on God." Love you girl! Hang in there and you know where to find me. Aubrey

Courtney, I pray that you'll look fondly upon these days in a few years when your up to your elbows in diapers and teenagers cell phone bills wondering yet again, "how did I get here?"
Keep us posted!

Courtney,
I'm still pulling for you...and I understand exactly where you are. Give it to God. He's in control.

Hang in there. It's hard not to let it be all-consuming, and some days really are too much. It's okay to be emotional -- we are all cheering you on!

I hear you. It is hard. I often wonder... when is it enough? How much more? My hardest thing with the ET being delayed was the idea that I could "try" again until Jan and it was another 2 months. Now at least I have 1 month of waiting instead of 2 (provided I pass my u/s).

I'm praying for you this cycle. If you ever need to vent, we are always here for you.

***BIG HUGS FOR YOU***
